Will Walt Disney Company’s 2011 be as Successful as its 2010?

This year at the movies we’ve seen wizards, vampires, demigods and one bad ass billionaire in an iron suit. At the end of the year, however, something as simple as toys and a little girl who fell down a rabbit hole took top honors at the box office in 2010.

Needless to say, the Walt Disney Company and CEO Robert Iger celebrated Mickey’s birthday right with huge profits and memorable films.  Back in March, Johnny Depp put on the oversized hat of the Mad Hatter in what was more of a sequel to the original Alice in Wonderland. Helena Bonham Carter was outstanding as the Queen of Hearts and Disney used that tandem to score 6.1 million on opening weekend.

The mark easily broke the record held by “300″ for biggest opening weekend in the month of March. Alice in Wonderland stayed strong in its second week gaining .7 million — the fifth-largest second weekend. When it was all said and done, the new story of Alice earned the Walt Disney Company .02 billion.

Most great things come in pairs — a fact any guy knows if they’ve met a hot pair of twins.

Back in 1995, the world was introduced to a boy named Andy and his favorite toy — a cowboy named Woody. When this pair was introduced to the world, no one really know how they’d be received, yet here we are 15 years later, and we know exactly how they were — with open arms (and wallets).

Toy Story 3 debuted on the weekend of June 18 with thunderous anticipation from fans of all ages who wanted to see how the series would end. Disney and Pixar have speculated that this will be the last movie in the franchise, and boy did they go out with a bang.

The new chapter in the story of Woody and Buzz Lightyear gained 2 million on its first weekend topping just about every worldwide box-office opening. With a strong second week of million, Disney continued to see amazing revenues from another storied franchise from the company and at final tally, Toy Story 3 earned .06 billion at the box office worldwide.

Success at the box office is not a rare occurrence for Disney, but success of this magnitude is. With Alice and Wonderland and Toy Story 3, it marks the first time in movie history that two movies earned a total of at least billion.

Recently, Disney resurrected another franchise to tug at the memories of fans with Tron: Legacy, the sequel to the 1982 film starring Jeff Bridges. So far, Tron: Legacy has earned 9 million, which could make 2010 a very good year for Walt Disney Company when it’s all over in two days.
